As a blogger, I don't necessarily want *another* widget or online space to share the content I'm creating, I want to store it where I ordinarily do. I can't find a way within Sprindoo to enable automatic content forwarding to either a wordpress/typepad installation, or to an email address (a common method of posting to a blog) - there is a manual process whereby I can email content, but this doesn't do it for me. Adam - anything in the dev. pipeline for this kind of functionality?

I just tested the email facility with 3gp and avi and works fine, video instantly appeared on my caster. Have sent an email to New Zealand [where our media data is handled] requesting why mp4s are currently commented out and as soon as I hear back I will update on here. They have most probably been testing and forget to uncomment - we'll see. Cheers, Adam Mike/Ewan,

They've got that functionality! If you look in My Account, you'll have a secret SpringCast email address there. I have added mine to my address book and I'm going to give it a go emailing my MP4 directly now. Mike, I called Adam at Springdoo and asked him about this. They’ve got that functionality!

Or that's how I read it. Just gave it a go - nice concept, finally a use for videocalling, and the interactivity with the video server is a masterstroke of usability. My one and only gripe - the crap 3G videocall quality. Everything I could imagine capturing to share - kids running, dog cycling, house being washed away - all these would look like complete, pixellated crap. If they implimented SpringMail or SpringBlog for mobile, so I could upload a lovely MP4 image from my N95, now THAT I would go for. But pixellated, washed-out, out of sync 3GPP video? Nope, not in a million years :-( Hey Mr SpringDoo - any plans to let me email you .MP4 files ?
